[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok so tease that out. Metro doesn't exist in 4 years. There is an arena with events 220+ nights per year, many/most of them on weeknights.

Exactly how will people get there, given the location and lack of ability to expand any roads?

So given people won't attend, because it is so hard to get to, attendance (thus revenues from ticket sales) and concessions sales (due to lower attendance) do not meet the rosy projections that underpin the bonding for this project.

Guess who picks up the tab? The teams? No. Ted Leonsis? No. Glenn Youngkin? No.

Correct. And the taxpayers of Alexandria want and support this. Just like they wanted and supported the abolishment of single family zoning. And they are going to get what they want.

Alexandria taxpayers want to be saddled with a 3 billion dollar liability?[/quote]

No.  Alexandria taxpayers definitely do not want to be saddled with $3b tax liability.  But.  It will be all Virginia taxpayers saddled with $3b.

So that will be the end of the Democrats holding the legislature.

Also.  The cost will not stop at the bonds.  The wastewater bills are going to explode. It astonishes me that people never understand why some riverfront property with views of dc has never been developed. [/quote]

Why would the democrats support this? It is a billionaire initiative underpinning Youngkin's legacy as governor. Why would they give this to Youngkin?[/quote]

The Democratic party is the party of the rich. [/quote]
